About Your Guide Yuko
After nearly 30 years working at the Japanese branches of American companies, including 20 years at The Walt Disney Company Japan, Yuko started her own business in 2014.
She has also worked as a qualified and licensed English-speaking guide since 2016, introducing visitors from around the world to Japanese culture and daily life. Having lived in the United Kingdom for nearly three years, she enjoys sharing Japan with international visitors and answering questions about everyday life and culture.
Over the years, she has participated in more than 200 sushi-making experiences as a host and interpreter. Through these experiences, she realized that many guests were interested not only in shaping sushi, but also in learning more about how sushi comes together and the stories behind it.
That inspired her to create a tour that goes beyond simply shaping sushi.
This experience combines ingredient collection in Tsukiji, some of the steps that come before shaping sushi, and insights into Japanese seafood culture. The tour is limited to a maximum of six guests so that everyone can receive individual guidance and take part comfortably in each step.
